im gonna saaayyy..... Normal. But I hope the tack "eon" onto the end of it's Eng name. I just love the motif. If I could go back in time I would cruise right past 911 and change Hitmontop to Hitmonchi, after Sonny Chiba. Anyway, yeah, something like Regleon, or Normeon, or Inauspiceon.

The new eeveelution looks like it'll be normal to me but what is with it's eyes? It looks like it's blind. It's definately not a bug type though, not sure where that idea came from, and it can't be a flying type because it doesn't have wings.

And since GF were definately going for the "cute" factor with this one, I'm gonna say that it's likely to be terrible in the competitive side of things.

Shaymin has an alternative form, Sky Forme which has wings, so technically it does.

Drifloon is based of an air balloon.

Hoppip, is like a dandelion which float in the air.

Gyarados might be a flying type but the only flying type move it can learn is bounce so it doesn't really count, in my opinion.

...Furthermore Eevee is supposedly based off a rabit or a fox so it doesn't make much sense that it'll be a flying-type when it's pre-evolution is ground based. Flying-type pokemon either have wings or are based of things that are associated with the sky, as I've already mentioned using your examples.

I do like the bug idea. Can't see it being flying just because no pictures support that. Normal seems most likely with the way it look, fur like a wigglytuff with the same eyes as well. Maybe Ghost(?) just because of the ??? typing. I dunno but if it's a new type I will not be excited for X and Y anymore.

I seriously doubt that Ninfia will be a new type. Why would they create a new type using an Eeveelution, when there have been other types which have been around a lot longer like steel and dragon types which have yet to see an Eeveelution with that type?

I thought there wouldn't be any new Eevee evolutions because the rest of the types wouldn't work (Can you imagine a Ghost or Fighting Eevee evolution?), but this quite a surprise. I wonder what type it is.

WTF
this eeveelution sucks. The worst Gen V species as of now.
Its face is almost completely the same as Victini's...
I think it will be Normal-type and learn moves from all elements, like Castform but with a wider movepool.
